Great Ocean Hotel, Apollo Bay

We'd popped in to the the Great Ocean Hotel for a drink before but hadn't stayed to eat. It's located at the 'top end' of Apollo bay, closer to Marengo than the other pub in town.

We found a table outside in the courtyard before ordering at the bar, the menu was stacked with classic Australian pub dishes. It was a fairly busy through out the establishment on the Easter holiday night we visited on.

I had the flake fish and chip special, great value for $17 with 3 decent sized freshly cooked pieces of beer battered fish with chips and salad.

The "Certified" Black Angus Scotch Fillet also with chips and salad and a slightly disappointing pepper sauce, the steak itself was excellent however.

The service was fine, and the meal pretty good value. The only real downer was the enforced sharing of the courtyard with smokers, who didn't seem to worry about where diners were sat. In a way this is just a reminder of how far we moved to a smoke free world, but it was frustrating at the time.
